Sort of. It took a bit longer as I decided to check out OpenSuse and Linux Mint first. Either Linux flavours I disliked from the get-go: OpenSuse is driven by KDE 4, which I really like, except for that it reminds me these days of Lego in both a good and bad way. Mint is where I expect desktop-Gnome 3 to go: only, it behaves very unpredictable. For example, UI elements like menus in NetBeans didn&#8217;t work at all. Also, random crashes occurred too many times.\n<\/p>\n<p>So, back to Unity, which, as you probably already knew, I hate. For now, I can tolerate it: however, in my mind, while I appreciate that the Ubuntu-crew is concentrating on a UI that can work with <em>touch<\/em>based devices, it would have been so nice if they had provided users with a good UI choice.\n<\/p>\n<p>I am pining for both KDE4 and Mint tho. Or, maybe, just maybe, I really should go back to <a href=\"http:\/\/www.debian.org\/News\/2012\/20120929\">Debian<\/a>, which to my surpise is now up to version 6.
